Saint Patrick’s Day Recipe Round Up

A collection of naturally green favorites from the blog, packed with matcha, avocado, and greens, to keep you from getting pinched on Saint Patrick’s Day!

When I worked in an office I was *always* counting down the days until the next commercial holiday.

Something about celebrating them always made me feel closer to my colleagues and the world behind my dual monitors and stark white walls.

I put extra thought into my work attire, carefully selecting the emerald green skirt to be on theme. 

In quarantine, I’ve been leaning on holidays, too, to give me something to look forward to through the tough times. 

Birthdays, holidays, half-birthdays, food holidays– give me a good reason and I’ll celebrate it.

Well, it’s almost Saint Patrick’s Day! 

This year, let’s eat something good and green, shall we?

In this Saint Patrick’s Day Recipe Round Up I share some of my favorite naturally green recipes from the blog. 

They’re sure to give you food inspiration in a pinch and save you from (literally) getting pinched this Saint Patrick’s Day!
